CowboysDiehard Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I noticed today that D'onta Foreman was in the free agent pool (not surprising), and also noticed that Houston hosts SF in week 14. I'm looking good to make the playoffs in that league, but not good enough for a bye. I figured it was worth setting him aside now to see if he has a shot by week 14 for additional work. Good chance that he and Miller are a two-headed monster in that game, given the QB situation and matchup. We have a deep bench in that league, so it's reasonable to make this move. What other off the radar players do you guys see out there with decent matchups in weeks 14-16 (maybe even 13) who are worth a stash?

michaelredd9 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 It looks likely that Aaron Rodgers will be back week 15. Even if the Packers go 1-3 in the next four weeks, they'll still have a shot to make the playoffs. I doubt Rodgers is the type to sit as long as the Packers aren't mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I took Josh Gordon as he'll be back week 13 so gives you a couple of weeks to evaluate before the playoffs potentially start. Still a sucker for David Johnson in my IR slot coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Johnson does come back, I'll start him his first week back without hesitation. At this point, it is looking 50/50 that he comes back.

For some reason, when I read this thread title, the guy in your avatar was the first thing that came to mind. Not as a stash, but for his stache. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphashado Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Josh Gordon/Corey Coleman Also consider Ekeler. There seems to be an interesting transition happening with the Chargers running game. It may be nothing, but it may be something. Ekeler saw 15 touches to Melvin Gordon's 21, and it was Ekeler who was getting the meaningful reps late in the fourth quarter as the Chargers were trying to kill the clock. However, Ekeler had a bad lost fumble deep in his own territory with 1:28 left on the clock and the Chargers clinging to a 17-14 lead. Ekeler was let off the hook by Blake Bortles, who then threw an interception. But the coaches didn't go back to Ekeler, instead reinserting Gordon on the next possession and in overtime. You have to wonder if they would have stayed with Ekeler if he didn't fumble because he was WAY out performing Gordon. Austin Ekeler, a rookie UDFA, totaled 119 yards and two touchdowns on 15 touches. Gordon couldn't do much of anything, while Ekeler ran circles around him. They have a fairly easy playoff lineup.

Then I thought better of it since I'm a few decades past 12. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskins Chiefs Jets I noticed this and I did pick this guy up last week. He hails from a high school a few miles north of my home town (Eaton HS...and no, their mascot isn't the Beavers) as well, so definitely rooting for him.

Rbgb Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Just scooped up Rodgers in a money league. Was pretty happy about that. I ended up dropping the DJ stash to get him though. Seems Rodgers is more likely to return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
